;; I need some advices to be able to generate all the images. I'm not using the org
;; exporter to produce the html, but relying on github's limited org parser to
;; display everything. github's parser doesn't do the org export, so I must
;; pre-generate all the figures with (org-babel-execute-buffer) (C-c C-v C-b).

;; This requires advices to:

;; - Generate unique image filenames
;; - Communicate those filenames to feedgnuplot
;; - Display code that produces an interactive plot (so that the readers can
;;   cut/paste the snippets), but run code that writes to the image that ends up in
;;   the documentation
